Note that the copyright violator, Monsoon Multimedia, is just over in
San Mateo, on N. Amphlett, the west frontage road to US-101.
Plaintiffs aren't merely seeking a monestary settlement but have
recently secured agreement to pay. (Exact terms are undisclosed.)
In exchange for that plus some positive measures on Monsoon's behalf to
prevent future licence violations, plaintiffs have agreed to dismiss
their lawsuit.
(Rob Landley, one of the two plaintiffs, is a friend of mine.)
